There is definitely enough room. It is a brand new computer with a 200GB drive. The install program correctly tells me that there is 183GB free but is incorrectly telling me that it needs 601GB available to install (that's right 601 Gigabytes!). I don't know why the Protel install program would make a mistake like that. I started wondering if it doesn't correctly handle this size of drive (3 digit gigabyte). The program actually displays it in KB (601242787 KB) so I wonder if the extra digit has "blown its mind".
